Look at my load order, I actually have all my mods except for official DLC and unoffical patches disabled! O.O

I do everything through the steam workshop, so the unoffical patches should be up to date.

Thanks for your time Master Dan!

The dragon souls glitch is often caused by a conflict between the 1.8 patch and mods that affect dragon AI packages or add new dragons. If you have any mods like that, simply deactivating them will not immediately fix the problem, you need the dragons themselves to reset. Go to your favorite hiding spot and sleep for 4 days. That will cause all the world cells to reset.

I have only encountered this issue once, and it could be helped by loading another save game (a different character). Once I had absorbed a dragon soul with the other character, I could absorb dragon souls with all my characters again.

Notice that disabling all modifications can cause further problems if any of those disabled modifications alter original scripts or contain their own scripts, since the save game will expect these scripts to be loaded even if you have disabled or uninstalled them.

This is caused by having Skyrim 1.9.32.0.8 (latest) and having the Unofficial Skyrim Patch (1.3.2b), this bug was fixed in Skyrim version 1.9.29.0.8 by having the Unofficial Dragonborn patch with the Unofficial Skyrim Patch (1.3.2b). However the problem has come up again in this version of Skyrim so you will have to wait for a USP update.

No, wrong on all accounts, sorry. This is caused by either a wrong load order or a conflicting mod. There is no such bug in vanilla and the UPs do not cause this either.

@ Sasha: deactivating a plugin is not enough. Follow the advices at the bottom of the description page here[skyrim.nexusmods.com].

You didn't test it properly then. And no, deactivating the USKP and being able to absorb souls is not a proper test.

This has been said a countless times: it's caused by either a wrong load order or by malformed mods that drop loose scripts in the \Data folder and alter the Dragons behavior. The USKP itself has absolutely nothing to do with this and doesn't conflict with the DB DLC in any shape or form.

You're lead to believe that it's the culprit because upon deactivating it you're able to absorb souls properly but it's just because those mods scripts badly clash with it.

Anyway as I said, I've tested this on a Clean, New game, with only the Unoffical Patches and Offical DLC active, but the problem persisted this lead me to believe that USP is causing the issue unless you can proove otherwise I shall continue to beileve so.. :)

Ok, Tested Again and moved "portal 2 mod" down the load order, seems you were right and it was boss that changed the load order, Im sorry man :) and thank you, if you never mentioned load order I wouldnt have noticed that the P2 mod had moved up the list.... :D Thanks Now I can play skyrim again :D
